As Appearing on The Daily Caller
The National Academy of Sciences is trying to stop the all-important Trump energy dominance agenda. It is long past time for the Trump administration to defund the anti-fossil fuel and anti-nuclear power organization and force it to survive, if it still can, off of the left-wing funders whose agenda it constantly promotes.
Most recently, the NAS teamed up with climate activists at Columbia University’s Sabin Center for Climate Change Law to bias federal judges in ongoing climate lawfare.
The NAS allowed Sabin Center staff to author climate information for a chapter in the Reference Manual on Scientific Evidence, a book published by the taxpayer-funded Federal Judicial Center. Nowhere in the manual do they disclose that the Sabin Center is in league with lawyers for blue states and cities suing oil and gas companies for climate change damages.
Red state attorneys general protested to the Federal Judicial Center, and the offending climate chapter was removed. But, in an act of brazen defiance, the NAS posted the manual on its website with the climate chapter included, where it remains today.
